July 5, 200422 yr Who is being sent down since Beckett is coming off the DL? Tejera still on the team? I think it will either be Small or Howard. Ben Howard has not pitched well at all.
July 5, 200422 yr I'd hate to see Small go back down- he's been pretty decent. Bump just got called back up....maybe he'll be sent back down.
July 5, 200422 yr I think Ben Howard is eventually going to be a pretty big contributor to this team in the future. He has the stuff just needs fix any mechanics he might have wrong. I see him being a big September callup possibly if he is sent down to work on that sometime soon. Small is probably the guy

My guess is that Small will be sent down.
July 5, 200422 yr Probably be a decision just prior to game time, that gives extra time for discussion between Jack, Rosie, and the FO. ESPN shows Josh being activated, but just says that they are expected to make a move before the game tonight.

Doesn't look like the decision has been announced yet.
July 5, 200422 yr think howards going back down,small is pretty good pitcher u cant hold that first outing he had agasit him he came with the friggin base's loaded and no outs in the first and ALMOST got out un touched.howards been haveing sum trouble so send his ass down.
July 5, 200422 yr Just announced on Rotoworld: Marlins designated RHP Aaron Small for assignment. Small allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings in two appearances for Florida.
July 5, 200422 yr According to USAToday.com, the Marlins designated Aaron Small for assignment. EDIT: Bah, beat by a few seconds!

July 5, 200422 yr So do you think designating him for assignment is to give them time to clear a roster spot at Albuquerque for him? Or allow him time to clear waivers and be removed from the 40-man roster for another move (Trade? Dillon?)

With Josh coming back from the DL the 40-man roster was full, and somebody had to be taken off.
July 5, 200422 yr howard is gonna be big for us later in the year he has the right stuff, just lacks control

Only players who are transferred to the 60-day DL are taken off the 40-man.
